Brooke Hogan has broken her silence on the death of father, Hulk Hogan, sharing that she’s happy that he’s now “at peace” and no longer in pain.
“I know he’s at peace now, out of pain and in a place as beautiful as he imagined,” she wrote in a Tuesday post on Instagram. “He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he’d ever have.”
The WWE legend and Real American Freestyle commissioner died in his Clearwater, Florida home last Thursday.

It also follows reports that the wrestler had been battling health problems in recent months.
At the top of Brooke Hogan’s message, she said that she sees her father’s image through her own children.
